starting 13

[The Greatest brain]

I thinmk with our first 13 players then Wigan have a decent chance of winning the challenge cup and the Super league. However if injuries hit us then I think we could struggle but hopefully our luck will be a little better this year.

Jesus we are weak in our front row!! Not because Sculthorpe and Bibey are bad players but because they are inexperienced and can they face up to the size and power of guys like Vagana,Britt,Fielden,McDermott every week?

It would be risky as hell to bring both of them on at the same time.I fear that if O'Connor and Smith go off for a breather at the same time then we might end up stuck in our own half for long periods.I just hope Lam and Farrell have been practising 40/20's,there is no easier way to gain field position than to kick them.Not only do they give you the attacking scrum but they save the forwards all that hard work down the middle so when you get the ball back you still have fresh legs.Im suprised that teams dont go for these more often.
